*Angela’s Author Talks inspire creativity and confidence through lively read-alouds, TEKS and SEL connections, insights into the writing and publishing process, and interactive activities, including emerging bilingual support. Angela has a special picture book for each season, so she offers something unique each quarter throughout the school year! Her goal is to leave every student with an “I can create!” attitude and a renewed excitement for storytelling.
*Angela’s Writing Workshops guide students through hands-on activities that help them discover ideas and transform them into their own stories. Now that STAAR & standardized testing across the states include writing sections for 3rd grade up, kids need to see how writing can be fun! Teachers also appreciate the support for their students as Angela’s engaging and interactive sessions inspire creativity and build confidence in young writers.
Angela brings her diverse teaching and writing experiences, her leadership opportunities, and her passion for literacy, creativity, and collaboration to each of her speaking engagements. Participants leave empowered with practical insights they can immediately apply to their unique contexts.

We had the pleasure of having Angela Henderson Smith as a guest author to our campus last spring. She immediately brought life, joy, and creativity to our event! Angela was so down-to-earth and relatable with all ages of our student body (Kinder – 12th), and she really inspired the kids and instilled confidence in them as writers. If you have the opportunity to hear her speak or have her work with your students, do it! You’ll come away with knowledge, inspiration, and assurance that you have a story worth telling!
Angela is warm and personable with a gift for joyfully drawing out the creative writing potential in students. My ten year old left camp with a new view of himself as someone who can write great stories and create fun characters like the ones he has always enjoyed reading! What an awesome skill to carry through life!
